Abstract
The present invention relates to a covering based on thermoplastic elastomers, especially a floor covering. The matrix constituting such a covering is an alloy containing, as base, a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, as reinforcement, a styrene-based polymer and, as flexibilizer, an olefin polymer. The coverings thus obtained satisfy the wear standards of a floor covering, can be calendered and exhibit good resistance to cigarette burns.
